Hehe, absolutely no intentions of grinding there again, don't wanna deal with anon, turbo, no waitlist, nick changes, bots etc ... but I really should try to sit in the good 2k and 5k games when they run.

            Pretty much and expect to be good almost always if he checks J or T

            Lol just booked my biggest daily win ever but my EV was -15k
            52k over EV

            Ran bad at the 5k except that I couldnt lose flips and sucked out in a 500bb pot

              Badish (-2k) day yesterday, could have been more if I didnt went chasing 2k losses at the 5k also played kinda bad

              Played very good today so far, but didnt got rewarded (-3k something)


              Lost 5/6 pfai at 2k, set percent 7.4 (lol) and QQ seemed to run into KK+ like 50% of the time. Won only 1/9 out of my biggest pots of today, truly depressing

              Was actively looking for good spots to overbet today and because of that redline was still positive eventhough I was surrounded by stations and was ubernitty in preflop all ins.

                      I posted a Zoom top 5 somewhere but I havent played enough 2k to really know the best regs are. I do know like 40+ guys who def arent the best though many big names are actually suprisingly bad.

                      But about the best: when playing vs Ragen or FMylife I immediately feel like this will not end well, they seem to know the game so much better then I do, luckily they only play 2k once in a while.
                      So far AdvancedFear seems to me as the best 2kNL grinder. Prob there are some more good players, but my sample is just way too small to judge and I'm prob not good enough myself to judge the better 2k players.
